Kal khuda ke' kisi viraan dar par

Kal  khuda ke' kisi viraan dar par,
Ek lawaris laash  paayi gayi.

Kehte' hain,
Kabhi isi dar par,
Khuda ke' kai bande' aate' the',
Apni mann ki muraad poori kar,
Isi jagah par,
Khuda ka shukria ada karte' the'.

Maana ki aaj ke' daur  mein,
Aab-o-daana ki talaash mein,
Kai din raat bhatakte' hain,
Aur kai jeene' ki khatir marte' hain.

Magar aab-o-daana ko talash kar,
Woh khuda ka shukria kab aur kahaan ada karte' hain?

Iss dar ki viraangi,
Khamosh hote' hue' bhi,
Kai baatein keh jaati hain,
Koi aur sune' ya naa sune',
Humse' kai shikve' kar jaati hain.
